The list was voted for by 25,000 professional footballers who each submitted a team featuring a goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three attackers, based on their 2016-17 play.

The final XI will be announced on October 23rd, and while the usual suspects such as Lionel Messi , Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar et al are all there, it would appear that there are some glaring ommissions.

We scoured the 55-strong list and then cam up with an alternative XI who can feel hard done-by that they have not been included.

Here's our (extremely attacking) XI...

GK: Thibaut Courtois

It's tough not to include the Premier League's Golden Gloves winner from last season who helped his side win the title, but that;s just what the official list has done.

Keylor Navas was included and one gets the feeling that if Courtois played for Real Madrid he'd have made the cut.

RB: Cesar Azpilicueta

The most reliable player at Stamford Bridge (don't worry, this isn't just an XI of Chelsea players) surely deserves a spot in here.

The Spaniard was at his unassuming best again last season, getting on with it and doing what he does last season as he claimed a second Premier League winners' medal.

CB: Toby Alderweireld

Perhaps the Premier League's best centre-back last season, who marshaled one of the division's best defences.

Another overlooked Premier League player, who quickly slotted in at Old Trafford and became the focal point of Jose Mourinho's back line.

LB: Benjamin Mendy

Was a key part of the Monaco side who gatecrashed the last-four of the Champions League last term and won the French league.

The 23-year-old earned a £52million move to Manchester City in the summer and hasn't taken long to win over the Etihad faithdul.

MID: Marco Asensio

Shaving injuries aside , the Real Madrid man is one of Europe's most exciting talents. If he's not included in next year's list I will eat my proverbial (not literal) hat.

MID: Kevin De Bruyne

What kind of world do we live in where De Bruyne isn't in the best 55 players in the world? (Image: AFP)

The most glaring omission on the FIFPro list. On his day - and those days come often - the Belgian is the most devastating playmaker in the Premier League.

MID: Tiemoue Bakayoko

We really need someone who can do some tackling in this XI, so the Chelsea new boy gets the nod. Part of the Monaco team that shone so brightly last season, before being picked apart this year.

FWD: Sergio Aguero

Another huge miss from the official list. The Manchester City man bagged his usual 30-plus goals last season and is already at it this year, netting a hat-trick against Watford at the weekend.

FWD: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

No love for the pacy Dortmund man in the 55-strong FIFPro list, but we've got plenty of time for the Gabon striker here.

FWD: Gonzalo Higuain

A haul of 24 Serie goals last season as Juventus claimed another title, means he should have joined his trike partner Paulo Dybala on the main list.
